Chapter 055: The Secret Cellar (1)

"Come and see the bottom of the well." Xiahou Yan said to Jian Ning, "You will understand." ”

Hearing this, Jian Ning took a step forward and looked towards the bottom of the well, only to find that the bottom of the well was too clean.

At the bottom of the general dry well, most of them are deposited with a layer of dead leaves, even if there are not many dead leaves, but there will be some things, at least spider webs are indispensable. However, this dry well has a smooth wall as new, and there is no trace of debris at the bottom of the well, which shows that people often enter and exit.

"If it's really a good design, who would have thought that the entrance to this secret cellar would be in this dry well!" Jian Ning couldn't help but admire.

Just the mechanism that opened the entrance, after searching for more than half an hour in those two empty rooms, Jian Ning didn't dare to think that if the room was full of things, they would be able to find the mechanism so quickly.

Even if you find the mechanism, you may not be able to find this entrance on your own.

"Let's go." Xiahou Yan looked at the wellhead for a while, and said to Jian Ning, "It seems that this entrance is unguarded, but it is difficult to say whether there is a mechanism or not, so after entering, try to follow me and don't touch anything." ”

Jian Ning knew that this was not the time to be reckless, so she nodded very seriously.

Xiahou Yan grabbed the rope hanging by the well, grabbed Jian Ning's waist very easily, jumped over, and jumped into the well with Jian Ning.

The fear of weightlessness struck, and Jian Ning subconsciously grabbed the clothes on Xia Houyan's chest and hid in his arms.

Feeling Jian Ning's small movement, Xiahou Yan's heart inexplicably rose with a sense of joy, and the anger that had just been born because of Jian Ning suddenly disappeared.

But this time always passes quickly, but in a few seconds, it is already at the bottom of the well.

Feeling her feet standing on the ground, Jian Ning came out of Xiahou Yan's arms and opened her eyes. Unfortunately, the light at the bottom of the well is not good.

At the bottom of the well, Xiahou Yan was still holding Jian Ning, and he didn't seem to have the intention of letting go.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. This" Jian Ning felt that Xiahou Yan was a little stunned, and said tentatively. also took advantage of the light that came in from the well, and pointed to Xiahou Yan's hand on his body.

Hearing Jian Ning's voice, Xiahou Yan frowned slightly, still holding her, and said very naturally: "I don't know what mechanism is in it." It's safer that way. ”

Jian Ning wanted to open her mouth and continue to say something. But under the trade-off, he obediently did not speak. After all, the truth is just as Xiahou Yan said, the danger here is unknown, and it is indeed too dangerous for himself.

"And. In the future, when no one is around, don't call me prince. Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning and didn't speak again, and said as he walked forward with her.

"Not called the prince? What's that called? Jian Ning was stunned when she heard this, and asked without thinking about it. I can't help but slander in my heart, I can't just call you Xiahou Yan!

originally waited for Xiahou Yan's answer, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Xiahou Yan speak. Jian Ning muttered a little bottomless in her heart: "Young Master Xia? Or is it Xiahou Gongzi? ”

Jian Ning thought in her heart. On this continent, only the royal family of the Eastern Shang Kingdom can be surnamed Xiahou, and now the Eastern Shang royal family in Yuanchu, except for Xiahou Leling, is Xiahou Yan, if it is called Xiahou Gongzi, it is no different from being called the prince, right?

Xiahou Yan's footsteps suddenly stagnated. Apparently because of what Jian Ning said.

"Forget it. Call it whatever you want. In the end, Xiahou Yan said helplessly.

In fact, when he said that, he originally wanted Jian Ning to be able to call himself by his name. This can at least look familiar, but it is obvious that Jian Ning has no such idea at all.

Jian Ning had been paying attention to the steps under her feet, and when she had walked almost a hundred meters, a faint light suddenly appeared on the road ahead. As she got closer, Jian Ning found that there were candles lit on the walls.

Xiahou Yan stopped, observed the surrounding situation, and said sternly: "There should be a mechanism ahead, follow closely, be careful." ”

After speaking, he let go of Jian Ning, squatted down and picked up a small pebble on the ground, and threw it forward. As soon as the stone hit the ground, a rapid rain of arrows shot from the surrounding walls.

Jian Ning looked at it, feeling embarrassed, she couldn't imagine that the ancient mechanism was really so magical. Such a design, such sensitivity, such a rain of arrows, is not inferior to modern laser anti-theft technology!

Xiahou Yan watched carefully, patiently waiting for this rain of arrows to pass, and after pausing for a moment, he was ready to step forward.

I didn't want to be pulled by Jian Ning suddenly, this time Jian Ning was obviously working hard, very seriously.

Xiahou Yan turned his head a little puzzled, looking at Jian Ning with straight eyes, as if waiting for her explanation.

"This mechanism is too dangerous, you" Jian Ning didn't know why she didn't want to pull Xiahou Yan without thinking, wanting to explain, but she didn't seem to know how to explain it clearly, and finally had to say, "You are the prince, you can't risk your life like this." ”

Xiahou Yan was originally very excited about Jian Ning's move, and Jian Ning pulled him because she was worried about him. But after hearing his words, Xiahou Yan's face sank significantly.

Withdrawing his hand from Jian Ning's hand, he said in a slightly cold voice: "A small mechanism, it can't hurt the main hall." ”

Hearing this, Jian Ning looked at Xiahou Yan who turned around in a daze. Looking at what specific steps seemed to be under his feet, step by step, he walked forward carefully. The feathered arrows on both sides really didn't shoot. Jian Ning's heart also relaxed a little, it seems that after going out this time, she has a lot to learn, otherwise it is really difficult to mix in this era.

Xiahou Yan walked about ten meters, and not a single feather arrow was shot, which was very smooth. Standing there, he said to Jian Ning: "You can see my steps just now, if you follow what I say, you won't move the mechanism." ”

When Jian Ning heard this, her face showed a touch of confidence, and she said, "No need to repeat it, I have written it all down." ”

This time, it was Xiahou Yan's turn to be stunned for a moment, but he soon recovered.

Jian Ning already has the ability to never forget, don't say that she watched Xiahou Yan walk through very seriously just now, even if she only listened to it once and didn't look at it, she could make Jian Ning memorize it by heart.

After the two of them passed the rain of arrows, they walked for a long time, but a fork appeared.

Jian Ning looked at the two opposite directions, frowned and asked, "This tunnel is also designed with a fork?" ”

Jian Ning really admired the designer of this tunnel, this secret passage was like a street, but it was not a road to the end, and there was a fork in the road.

"Where should I go now?" In this case, two identical intersections, Jian Ning had no choice but to turn to Xiahou Yan beside him for help.

Xiahou Yan took a serious look at the two intersections, squatted down again, touched the soil on the ground, smelled it, clapped his hands, and stood up.

"There are people coming and going at both intersections, but they don't know where they lead?" In the end, Xiahou Yan said with a slight frown.

"What does that mean?" Surprise appeared on Jian Ning's face. It's not that she can't understand what Xiahou Yan's words mean, but she can't accept it. If that's the case, then where are the nine children?

"It's that both paths are useful, not to deceive. The only difference is that the two roads lead to different places. So now we have to make a decision about where to go. After Xia Houyan finished speaking, he stopped talking. At this time, Jian Ning needs to make her own decision.

Jian Ning looked to the left for a while, and then to the right. Close your eyes and compare the road you have just walked with the direction of the farmhouse on the ground. Finally, he pointed firmly to the right and said, "Go this way!" ”

"Judging by the location of the farmhouse and the path you have just taken, if you go to the right, you will always be under the farmhouse, where the eagle has been circling. And if you go to the left, you will get more and more away from the farmhouse," Jian Ning said what she was thinking in her heart one by one.

Now her only basis was the eagle, and she hoped that it hadn't let her down.

Listening to Jian Ning's analysis, Xiahou Yan was once again impressed by Jian Ning. Unexpectedly, the more critical the moment, the clearer Jian Ning's mind became, and he could still think of the eagle under such circumstances.

Since Jian Ning had already decided the direction, Xiahou Yan didn't say much, and took Jian Ning to the right.

Looking at the back of Xiahou Yan who was walking in front, Jian Ning suddenly asked, "Why don't you bring a guard or anything with you, this doesn't look like a prince?" ”

"Does the prince have to bring a large number of guards and servants?" Xiahou Yan asked without answering.

Jian Ning was suddenly speechless, indeed, she had never seen any other princes except Xiahou Yan. Watching those actors on TV before obviously didn't apply here.

Seeing that Jian Ning stopped talking, Xiahou Yan stopped speaking, and carefully observed the surrounding Yiqiqi in case there was any mechanism.

After the two of them walked for almost a cup of tea and turned a corner, the space suddenly became larger. Apparently this is already a secret room and not a passageway.

But the style of this secret room is just like the farmhouse above, as empty, just when Jian Ning and Xiahou Yan were looking at the environment of the secret room, the secret passage they came in just now was suddenly blocked by a rapidly falling stone door.

Because the stone gate fell too suddenly and too fast, even if Xiahou Yan wanted to stop it, he seemed to be a little more than willing and powerless.

"The intersection is blocked, what should I do now?" Jian Ning looked at the stone wall, faintly worried in her heart.

"Now we can only go down, and even if we design it this way, there must be another exit." Xiahou Yan spoke.

But just as the two of them wanted to go down through the other door, an accident happened. (To be continued) R466
